The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Xiao Baoer was still worried that Jiang Yuqing would be bullied by Wang Xiang in the future, but now she feels a little relieved.

Xiao Baoer cleared her throat and said, "Captain, I think Liu Zhiqing's ideological awareness is not high, and his education is not thorough. He should be educated in the most challenging position."

Shen Yongfu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Liu Zhiqing, starting tomorrow you will go to clean the pig sty and carry manure for half a month."

Liu Mengmeng collapsed on the ground, "It's over, it's over, everything is over."

After a while, everyone dispersed to eat, leaving only a few people around who scolded Liu Mengmeng for being shameless. Xiao Baoer didn't care about that. If Liu Mengmeng hadn't come to jump in front of her today, she wouldn't have cared what kind of person Liu Mengmeng was.

But if Liu Mengmeng insisted on making trouble in front of her, Xiao Baoer would definitely not be polite.

Erbao held Jiang Yuqing's hand and said, "Sister Zhiqing, mom brought some mung bean soup. There's one for you."

"No need, are you Dabao or Erbao? I can't recognize you either."

Jiang Yuqing smiled embarrassedly.

"Jiang Zhiqing, that's Erbao. Erbao talks more and is more lively. Erbao likes you very much. He asked me to give you a bowl of mung bean soup. Please don't be polite."

Xiao Baoer poured her a bowl, Jiang Yuqing thanked her, and Xiao Baoer left.

Shen's mother kept looking at Xiao Baoer while eating. Xiao Baoer looked at Shen's mother as if she had something to say, "Mom, do you have something to say to me?"

"Old Third's family, do you think I should ask someone to help Old Fifth? There are quite a few educated youth in the village who are eyeing Old Fifth, and we can't let them get involved with us."

"Mom, not all educated youth are like that."

Shen Zhenjiang tried to change Shen's mother's impression of the educated youth in front of her.

"Mother knows that there are good educated youth. Jiang Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing both look good. My dear son, they are girls from the city. They will go back home sooner or later. If they go back home, what will you do?"

Shen's mother was an experienced person and could see that her eldest son liked Jiang Zhiqing very much. When she heard what Jiang Zhiqing said today, she knew that the girl's family was well-off and if she returned to the city, her eldest son would be left behind.

Xiao Baoer followed up and advised, "Mom, how do you know if our family can leave this mountain valley one day? Maybe we can all go to a big city."

"Silly girl, it's good enough for your family to have enough food in this mountain village, why are you still thinking about going to the city?"

"Mom, life will get better and better. Lao Wu knows it well. Don't worry about him. Let's give him a chance to try. If he fails, we will let him listen to you and Dad. What do you think?"

Shen's mother didn't know what was going on. She was full of worries, but after Xiao Baoer's advice, she felt more confident and relieved.

Liu Ying also advised, "Mom, I think what the third brother's wife said is right, let's let the fifth brother make the decision himself."

The two daughters-in-law followed suit to persuade him, but the eldest son insisted on making the decision himself, so Shen's mother could only smile and lower her head to eat her meal.

Mm, it smells really good and tastes good.

When Shen Zhenjiang saw that his mother stopped talking and was eating with great relish, he knew that his mother had listened to his advice.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law."

Shen Zhenjiang expressed his sincere thanks.

Xiao Baoer had another idea in her mind. Shen Zhenjiang had been working at home, and the gap between him and Xiao Jiang, an educated youth, was getting bigger. Next time, she could ask if there was a job for sale and let him go to the town to be a worker.

Life went on as normal for a few days. Xiao Baoer went to the county to deliver the second book she had translated and received 220 yuan as the translation fee. Her work permit was also sent from Beijing to the Xinhua Bookstore in the county, so Xiao Baoer took it back along with the photos so that she could send them to Shen Zhensheng next time.

Uncle Zhang has also arranged for Shen Xiuxiu to go to school. She only needs to register in half a month. However, the admission notice and the postage for the first book were sent together. The delivery was slow, so she has not received it yet.

Apart from this incident, there was also the incident where Li Sufen cried while getting married, and everything else was very ordinary.

Li Sufen was married by the village chief to a butcher from the neighboring village, because the chief said he had no shortage of pork to eat, but his two previous wives had died.

What we found out was that both of his wives died during childbirth, but no one knew the truth.

A few days later, people in the fields saw several Red Guards coming to the village, and they were heading towards Xiao Baoer's home.

Aunt Zhang called out to Shen's mother in a panic, "Jinhua, do you think those little red soldiers are heading to your third daughter-in-law's house? What's going on?"

Both Shen's mother and father ran to Xiao Baoer's house in a panic. Shen Zhenjiang and Shen Xiuxiu ran faster. "Mom, let's go over there first to take a look. Don't scare the three children."

"Xiu, take the child into the house." Shen's mother instructed as she ran.

Xiao Baoer was at home with her eldest and second child reciting ancient poems when suddenly someone knocked on the door. When she opened the door, she saw several Little Red Guards and the team leader, as well as Shen Xiuxiu and Shen Zhenjiang, followed by several village cadres.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"Old Third Family, these comrades want to know something from you."

"Comrade Xiao Baoer, someone reported that your family has illicit income, engages in capitalism, and is not close to the people. We need to conduct an on-site investigation."

"Okay, then go in and check it out."

红小兵进厨房和屋里，一共找出了10斤白面、10斤大米、1斤猪肉、30个鸡蛋、10斤左右的油、一些饼干、鸡蛋糕、大白兔奶糖、几个苹果，最后就是1包三宝的奶粉。

"Comrade, is there anything wrong with these?"

Before Little Red Soldier could say anything, Xiao Baoer heard the chattering of the people gathered at the door.

"My goodness, how much do these good things cost?"

"There's no whole grains at home. You only eat fine grains. You're such a spendthrift woman."

"What do you see in that small packet? It doesn't look like flour."

"That's milk powder. My niece's wife is a worker in town. She gritted her teeth and bought a pack for her child before. I heard that a pack costs 6 yuan with a ticket."

"No wonder the three children are growing up so well. How could they not grow up well if they only eat these good things?"

The leader of the Little Red Guards coughed and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Comrade Xiao Baoer, what is the main source of income for your family? As far as we know, you don't work."

"Yes, my husband is a soldier. We receive his allowance and some bills every month. They include food coupons, meat coupons, snack coupons, and milk powder coupons."

"So what do you do for a living? Why don't you go to work? Why don't you get close to the people?"

"Comrade, I have my own job. I work as a translator, mainly translating some foreign books for the county Xinhua Bookstore."

The Little Red Soldiers were shocked. They didn't expect there was such a capable person in the village.

"Comrade Xiao, do you have any proof of doing this job?"

Xiao Baoer went into the room and took out a book that she was translating and her work permit and handed them to the Red Soldier. "This is the book I'm translating. You can check it out at will. You can also go to the Xinhua Bookstore in the county to investigate. The other one is the work permit sent by the Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing."

Red Soldier flipped through the book and confirmed, well, it was something I couldn't understand.

He looked at the work ID in his hand again. On one side was written "National Special Staff" in large letters, and on the other side was written "Beijing Xinhua Bookstore".

Xiao Baoer handed him the translation fee receipt that Uncle Zhang had issued last time, in duplicate, and gave Xiao Baoer one copy. He hadn't expected to use it. The other was the bill for the allowance that Shen Zhensheng sent over every time, with the specific amount of money on it. At least 30 yuan was sent back a month, and sometimes 50 yuan.

When the Little Red Soldier saw that it said that the translation fee for a book was 220 yuan, his eyes widened in surprise and he confirmed the amount of money several times.

Wow, it costs 220 yuan to translate a book, and I only make 22 yuan after working hard for a month.

The Little Red Soldier looked at Xiao Baoer with admiration and respectfully handed her the book, work permit and receipt.
